CUTS:
-
R2 United Kingdom- BBC - Yes - There are at least 3 edits to the 1973 special:
1) Harold singing with jubilation when receiving his tickets for his booked holiday before being stopped by his horse "neighing" loudly has him shouting "all right , all right ..keep ya bleed'in hair on" ...
2) The closing shot of Harold agreeing to stay home after opening his Christmas gift , he holds up his gift of Y-fronts and says "if my world shrinks any smaller , I'll disappear up the back of these !!.."
3) Scene has been omitted from the episode where Harold is writing a message on his Christmas gift to his father in which he writes several times in pencil before rubbing out each message for being too "endearing".
The 1974 special appears to be intact though a longer untransmitted version was originally released at some point on video. -
